Are you healthy?

When people ask this question, the first thing that usually comes to mind is being
physically fit. While that may be true, being healthy does not only mean having good
physical health or how well your body functions. You must also work hard to improve on the
other aspects of health: mental health, emotional health and social health. If you want to
know more, let’s go and discover these!

Characteristics of a Healthy Person

Mental Health, also called the intellectual domain of health, is the capacity to
interpret, analyze, and act on information. It includes your emotional and social well-being.
To give you an idea of a person’s mental health, listen to a person’s reasoning or notice how
a person recognizes the sources of influence over his or her beliefs then evaluate its impact
before behaving or making decisions. Having an alert mind, learning from mistakes, and
recognizing achievements are some of the distinct qualities of someone who is mentally
healthy.

Emotional Health, is how you react to events in your life. Experiencing positive
emotions is great but you should also learn how to manage negative emotions without being
self-destructive or threatening others so you will have a balanced emotional health.
Social Health, on the other hand is how well you get along with others. It is reflected
by your social skills. A socially healthy person also gives and accepts help and respects other
people’s uniqueness. If you do not accept others because you are too focused on yourself, it
limits your social health and the quality of others.
Mental health, emotional health, social health, social health and physical health
are equally important. These are the characteristics of a healthy person.

WAYS TO DEVELOP AND NURTURE ONE’S MENTAL HEALTH

 Liking yourself. You should be proud of who you are because you are unique. You
have qualities and skills that are truly likeable.
 Being good to yourself. Reward yourself once in a while for a job well done.
 Examining your behavior. Reflect on your own conduct. Some do this before going
to bed when they think of what they did the whole day.
 Accepting your limitations. Think of your competency or skill in terms of your
success rather than your failures. If things don’t work out of the way you planned,
learn from your mistakes.
 Dealing with a problem as it rises. Stop worrying about “what if”.
 Establishing realistic goals. Having a goal gives you direction in life. Make a list of
short term and long-term goals and how you plan to accomplish them.
 Expressing your emotion by how it makes you feel, not how others make you feel.
Communicate your feelings using the “I” messages. “I feel angry for having practices
after class” is healthier than “Coach, you make me angry. You shouldn’t give
practices after class”.
 Being part of different activities and interests.
 Developing a sense of humor. Learn to laugh even at your mistakes but be sure to
learn from them.
 Being optimistic.
Ways to stay Emotionally Healthy
To make sure the feelings you experience are appropriate responses to events, you can
stay emotionally healthy by:
 Expressing your feelings in healthy ways.
 Being part of activities that are mentally and emotionally healthy.
 Preventing or managing conflicts and other stress in healthy ways. Communicate by
exploring and nit shouting
 Asking for help for troublesome feelings.
 Being emphatic toward others.
 Carrying out personal responsibilities.
 Establishing and monitoring healthy relationships.

Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships

Signs of Healthy Relationships

A healthy relationship starts at home. Have a loving family makes all the members
work together to show their care and commitment, respect and appreciation, empathy,
communication, and cooperation. Outside the home are genuine friendships with other
people.

Importance of Healthy Relationships in maintaining Health

These relationships do not just happen. You need to work at it by being involved in
school and in your community, especially with the members of your family.

Signs of Unhealthy Relationships

Other relationships are not built on mutual respect and equality. While there is no
perfect relationship, it should not make one feel constantly afraid, depressed, or angry.
Threats, intimidation and isolation should never be tolerated because it affects a
person’s self-worth. No matter how bad things get, no one should abuse mentally,
emotionally and physically.

Managing Unhealthy Relationships

If too much time and energy is consumed despite trying to communicate your thought
and feelings, you need to let go of that unhealthy relationship.
